cE. "Force" saws

DEVELOPED FoRcE. SAYS
Prof. Pierce, "seenls to have spirit
ual origin" Its actual nature, science
has not determined. We recognize
the existence of force through the OBJ
served effects it produces. Force is
the universal source of change, al
ways operating in connection with
matter, and ever persistent in main
tanning its integrity, so that the sum
of its efforts is constant. 1t is devel-
oped IN various forms-as in attrac-
ton and repulsion-in motion and its
equivalents, heat, light, electricity and
galvanism. 1t acts upon the atom,
molecule, particle, body aggregate,
world, sun and system. Developed
as heat from the sun, force lifts the
waters to the clouds, whence, by the
force of gravity, they descend to earth
and flow as mechanical power in
their course back to the sea. Also
coming in the forces of heat and light
from the sun, force Induces vegeta-
ton and builds up forests. These, in
the cycles of change, are Frustrated
and buried for ages, but in their Sc
pulcher embrace their parent force,
which, in the meantime, transforms
them into coal, from whose combus-
ton it rises Phenix-like, in all its in
tegrity and pristine energy.

The Salt Lake Democrat inquiries:
Out of $4,000 profit made by the
United States in the coinage of silver
since 1873, is it too much to ask that
a few thousand more CT less be ex-
pended in providing vault room for
silver dollars, for which certificates
of small denominations cannot be is

THE TALLEST OF. KNOWN MES.-
There appeared at the London Pa
Wilton last evening for the first time
in this country the tallest man whose
height has been recorded in modern
times. The new giant is an Austrian
named Wlnkelmeier, and his heights
is s feet 8 inches, which is over one
foot more than that of Chang, the
Chinese giant. Winkelmeier was
born at Friedburg, near Salisbury,
| Upper Austria, in 1865, his parents
being in humble station in life.
He is the youngest of a family of
FIVE children, none of whom are of
abnormal statue, nor are his parents
or grandparents unusually tall. His
fingers span two octaves on piano,
land the stretch of his arms is enor-
nous. He showed no development
of this extraordinary growth up tC
the age of IA, but since then he has
been growing rapidly, and medical
authorities in Berlin and Paris have
expressed the opinion that he is like
Ily to grow until he is 20. The young
man is healthy, strong and intelligent
Beyond doubt he is one of the great
est curiosities of the day, and his APP
pearence last night side by side witt
a diminutive member of the Schaffel
trouble of acrobats was extraordinary
A huge bed has been constructed fol
him in the building of the pavilion
| which will be his home for some time

WELL SAID.-One of the meanest
features that has ever appeared in the
newspapers is an attempt to injure
the reputation of men-some living
and others dead by stating that
they have been addicted to drinking.
Fortunately however, these despic-
able attempts have only aroused SYM
pathy and increased the public esti-
nation for the persons attacked.
In the light of what has been alleged
as to General Grant, he stands forth
as a man who had great temptations
and who was morally heroic and
strong enough to overcome them
Some Of the grandest men we have
in this country are men who have
been at times under the power OF
appetite, but who have arisen in the
strength of manly, moral purpose anc
shaken off the power and control o.
the tempter. Newspaper slanderer:
and defamers are not worthy to clear
the shoes of moral heroes of this sort

Proposed constitutional Amendment

proposed Constitutional Amendnen
Winnemucca (Nevada) Silver State.
Assemblyman Shirley, of Lincoln
county, has introduced joint resolu-
ton IN relation to amending section
>, Article XIV, of the Constitution.
The proposed amendment provides
that females over twenty years,
who have resided in the State one
year and in the county or district six
mouths next preceding any election
to fill either Of said offices, shall be
eligible to the offices Of Superinten-
dent of Public Schools and School
Trustees"
The gallant Piocher, while about
it, should go step further and ex-
tend the suffrage to females upon the
same conditions as it is extended to
males. The salaries of County School
Superintendent are generally mere
plttance, and school trustees receive
no pay for their services. 1t is there
fore little more than burlesque to
make women eligible for offices for
which there is little, if any, salary,
and give the profitable Offices to men
only.
A correspondent of the Silver
State, writing from Wyoming few
days ago, tells US that the women, who
are accorded the suffrage in that Ter
ritory take a very active part in cleo
} tons and look forward to them will

V As an ordinary cloak or dress cost

a any rate the extension of the sutfrag

IiIGH-PRICED SEEING.

The high prices asked for seats to view
the procession on jubilee day inspired some
industrious person to inquire into the
charges on previous occasions. It appears
that in Edward Us time farthing was
given. On the accession Of Richard II.
the price had risen to penny. From
Henry VS. coronation to Henry Wills the
sum asked was I'd, Or hale of grosus, or
groat. A whole groat was charged in
Henry Wills day, and until the time of
Elizabeth, when teston, or testor, or Sd,
was charged. A shilling was given to view
the coronation procession of James H.,
and crown was the recognized figure in
in Charles Ills time. crown was paid
in William ILLS day. Half guinea was
given at George lis coronation; and curl
osity was considered to have risen to an
amazing height when in some houses 10
guineas, and in ordinary houses guineas
were given to view the procession at George
Tvs coronation, Graphic,
